In my opinion - sha sums would be appreciated and a good approach
for all builds.<br>

I happen to work as a support and the company had to distribute java
applets (over the web) to OSX users. Needless to say - gatekeeper
would always complain. However - even if the company would like to
sign the applets - there is no way to do so.<br>
Detailed explanation here<br>

In my opinion - mac users should grow up (I am not trying to offend
anybody). I don't think it is realistic everybody to accept what
Apple proposes (or dictates). At least there is a workaround (they
didn't lock the system completely). On a long term - it is a matter
of choice. And each one of us makes such when we buy a computer and
install an os on it.<br>

Kudos that Ardour is being developed for many platforms regardless
if they are proprietary or free.<br>
